But being one of the global mentors here, I can probably give you some suggestions about how to move forward as soon as possible. The translations need to be checked and approved by a translation editorTranslation Editor Translation editors can approve translations for projects. The GTE (General Translation Editor) and LM (Locale Manager) roles can add new users with the "Project Translation Editor" role that can approve translations for specific projects. There are two different Translation Editor roles: [General Translation Editor](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2023/05/16/hi-all-5/?output_format=md#general-translation-editor) and [Project Translation Editor](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2023/05/16/hi-all-5/?output_format=md#project-translation-editor)( PTEProject Translation Editor A Project Translation Editor (often referred to as PTE) is a person, who has access to validate strings on a specific project( for example BuddyPress, WooCommerce or Twenty Fourteen) for one specific locale. A project translation editor can approve strings that are added by translation contributors. Per project translation, editors are appointed by a [general translation editor](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/glossary/#general-translation-editor) after a [request by the project author](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/rosetta/theme-plugin-directories/#requesting-new-translation-editors) or by the contributors themselves.). It’s important to keep in mind that PTE is a personal role. The PTE needs to know the target language well, and many language teams request that the PTE should join their chat to enable mentoring and feedback. So: Do you personally speak Italian? If not, then you could ask the person who provided this translation to register their own account here [https://login.wordpress.org/register](https://login.wordpress.org/register) and next join the [#it_IT](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/?locale=it_IT) SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform [https://slack.com/](https://slack.com/).
